FSA - need OpenAllFiles.exe utility to recall archived files

[goatboy]

Hi

I am trying to locate a command line utility Symantec previously provided to me.

Pretty sure it was called OpenAllFiles.exe

It "touched" each archived file in a directory structure and recalled them. It was provided to me because of issues doing the migration with fsautility.exe

thanks!

Hi goatboy,

What about FSAutility with the -b or -t switches?

Recalling files corresponding to placeholders (-b)

Restoring archived files (-t)
http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO57567

I think -b would be an option for you since it would recall only the archived files if the placeholder is present. I hope this helps.

Thanks. Neither of these options worked. We had to use openallfiles.exe as a last result to recall all the data, then robocopy to the new location. I need this utility again in case the next migration I have planned has the same issues.

goatboy, 

You can use the following in a batch file to perform the recall.  This will gather a list of files to populate the copy.txt file.  Then process a copy to nul operation that will force a recall of the data.   You should run this as an Admin and have the following in place- http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO58324. 

dir %1 /s/b/A-d > copy.txt

for /f "delims=" %%A in ('type copy.txt') do copy ^"%%A^" \\.\nul\

Thank you! That does the trick.

The data I am recalling is on a vFiler, so I assume I don't need to follow that article.

Last time I recalled data using openallfiles.exe on a Windows server and every file recalled OK - I am not sure if that reg value was present or not (server is now decommissioned so can't check). Thanks again.

These settings will be on the Properties (NetApp tab) of the target file server in the Vault Admin Console.

Thanks, I found it. Appreciate your help.
